Deutschland 83

[Silent Hunter UK]

I watched it as well; very good. I couldn't help but notice the American general was fluent in German; was/is that common for those stationed in the Bundesrepublik?

I do not know, but have worked with about four or five guys who served in Germany. Everyone of them speak Germany, and talking with them they learned it there. I am guessing, that as German is not that far from English and the troops could go out on the town most would learn some if not becoming fully fluent.

I binge watched this over the weekend and very much enjoyed it; great music, a nice sense of paranoia and they avoided the more obvious choices to cast as the villain.

Not being German, I wouldn't know who the obvious choices were... but very good nonetheless.

This was in fact the most watched non-English drama in the UK to date.

Anyone know if it's available in the U.S. and on what media platform?

It aired on Sundance, but not sure about home video at all.

That's one of those channels on Time Warner in San Antonio that are in the nether regions, and therefore easily forgotten about when channel surfing.
